Vaqueros no problem for Newport

Contributions abounded for the visiting Newport Harbor High girls

basketball team in its 56-34 win over Irvine in Sea View League play

Thursday night.

Whether it be scoring, steals, rebounds or assists, Coach Jen

Thompson’s squad responded.

“We tried a few new things on defense and came out with different

lineups,” Thompson said.

Jillianne Whitfield led the Sailors with 13 points on 6-of-10

shooting with Amanda Campbell pouring in 10 points with five rebounds

and three steals. Vanessa Miller connected for nine points on 4 of 6

from the field and Victoria Swigart knocked home eight points while

adding five rebounds and two steals.

Newport, 11-8, 1-2 in league, finished 4 of 8 from behind the arc

and went 19 for 44 from the field.

Junior Kristi Koon fractured her index finger in practice and

didn’t play Thursday.

Next up for the Sailors is nonleague visitor Trabuco Hills

Saturday at 7 p.m.
